-Eren P.O.V.-
I wake up and greeted with Dad, Sherry, and three random people. I'm also wearing a hospital gown with white sheets covering my legs. What in the world happened? A random person with pale skin and black hair is squeezing the life out of my hand.

"Excuse me; but, who are you?" I ask with an eyebrow raised. The man looked hurt. Everyone else looked surprised, well, everyone except Sherry.

Yep. Her and her resting bitch face.

The man stood up and walks out quietly. I'm going to guess the nurse followed him out. Gosh, this is confusing. Following that, my dad walked out.

A tall man with glasses is standing beside my bed. He also has a clipboard being held in his right hand. He smiled and coughed a little like he hasn't spoken in forever.

"Hello, Mr. Jäeger. I have some news and explanations. First off, I'm Doctor Kowalski, the doctor who took care of you while this stuff happened. Okay, now I will explain.

"Six months ago, you were in a bad car crash. You had a major concussion, a bruised femur, and a lot of cuts and bruises to the skin. While your body was in shock, it slipped your body into a coma for half a year. Today is June 8, 2015. We are going to ask you some questions, for medical reasons. Is that okay?" He explained a whole list of stuff.

I nod slightly. "Great! Okay first question, when is your birthday?" He asks while clicking a pen.

"March 30, 1997." I told the doctor with a breeze.

"Okay. Your parents names?"

"Grisha and Carla Jäeger. My step-mom is Sherry."

"Good job. Now, how old are you?"

"I'm...If today's June eighth, then... I MISSED MY EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY!"

"Yes. What was the last date you remember?"

"November 22, 2014. My dad and I went to go see Mockingjay."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jäeger." He swiftly walks out the door.

Who are these people?

-Levi P.O.V.-

I walked out. He really seemed like he didn't know me. Mari, I'm really guessing here, followed me out. I sit at the waiting area with my head in my hands.

There is a creak of a chair right beside me. "Levi, I can't imagine what you feel right now." She spoke softly.

I had no desire to pick a fight right now. I just sat quietly. Click. I hear footsteps approaching the chair. Then, a hand is on my shoulder.

"Levi. I know you care about Eren, I saw it when I came out here from California. You watched after him as if he was your own son. Day and night, you were here with him. I can't count myself as a good father if I can't even do that for my own son." He spoke as if he didn't know anything.

I took my head out of my hands and looked up at him. Then, Doctor Kowalski walks up to us.

"Long story short, I asked Eren some questions. From his consent, of course. He seem to remember up to November 22, 2014. Nothing after that. Levi, when did you guys meet?"

I swallowed. "November 26 was when we acually started talking."

He looks down. "That's why. He has amnesia."

I curl up on the chair. Amnesia. Thoughts of horrid stuff come to mind.

"Levi." Eren's dad mumbled. "I would like you to take care of Eren. He needs to remember you. You were a great friend of his, and I can also see you care about him. If you want, you can watch him for his senior year. Plus, we will still have guardianship on him, because I know he loves you and you do too. I'm not going to get in the way of that. Do you think you can handle it?" He finishes off.

I hug him. That is all I can do. "Yes." I what I muffle into his black suit.
